June 22, 200619 yr I posted a question about him a few months ago, but i was still looking for info on the kid and i cant find anything. does anyone know where he is, or if we gave up on him?
June 22, 200619 yr I forget which team, but he's supposed to be coming back up with Great Falls or Bristol. He had been rehabbing in extended spring training.
June 22, 200619 yr All I know about him is that he was drafted out of New Lenox here in Chicago area, hes very tall, totally nice guy. Met him a SoxFest with a guy who went to that same H.S. He grew up a SOX FAN. Will make for good press if hes successful.

My guess is he will be out of the organization very soon, unless he shows some semblance of a fastball, command and obviously his knuckle curve. Its too bad, he was on the fast track for a while and than totally blew up.

Its too bad, he was on the fast track for a while and than totally blew up. His big problems started with the season opening game in 2004 he started out rolling then came up lame after his 7th K in the 4th and he pitched one more inning the rest of year. Last year he made a couple starts his control was off. He then went to the DL and came back in the middle of the season and really got into a good groove, then went down again. I have always wondered if Honel shouldn't have had the surgery back in '04. If he could come back and is on he has good stuff and can be non hittable
